Jack Lemmon & Pacino performances are about equal.

Pacino's avante garde line readings are what make the movie:

'HWHAT. Are you GOING. To DO. About it -- assHOLE!'

Lemon brought his A game though

Absolutely stacked nominee pool for best supporting actor that year:

Gene Hackman (winner) – Unforgiven as Little Bill Daggett‡

Jaye Davidson – The Crying Game as Dil

Jack Nicholson – A Few Good Men as Colonel Nathan R. Jessup

Al Pacino – Glengarry Glen Ross as Ricky Roma

David Paymer – Mr. Saturday Night as Stan Young

Point is you had Pacino, Hackman and Nicholson in supporting roles together with any other member of the Glengarry ensemble cast who could have won the award in any other year.

Pacino oversold it as usual. I don't like much he's done the last few decades. Lemmon was fucking awesome. So was Spacey and the other sales bros, all of them were better than Pacino
